...well as the coxswain's seat. Captain J. E. Waid '10, E. C. Bacon '10, R. Whitney '11, and McG. A. King '10, were lost by graduation. The veterans in the boat and material from the Freshman and University four-oared crews gave good prospects of turning out a fast eight. After the first few days of practice a very important change was made. Goodale went in at stroke, Cutler changing over to the starboard side of the boat at 7.

Abeles taking the position on the University four left vacant...

Oarsmanship has developed so fast and so far during the past few years, that only men of very exceptional ability can make their "H" in this sport, and only men who are far above the common run are taken to the quarters...
